A highly useful compact electric cargo bike, Surly Skid Loader is built for heavy loads and goes where traditional long-tails can't quite fit. Engineered to expand utility and shrink footprints, it's ideal for cutting down on car trips and navigating tight spaces - think bus racks, packed trains, or studios without storage space. Skid Loader comes in three broad frame sizes, and it's equipped with a robust rear rack, the option to run dual batteries for greater range, and clearance for large-volume tires. For hauling more gear over longer distances and everyday rides on whatever surface, Skid Loader rolls along, happy to oblige.100% Surly Chromoly Steel frame and fork, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, E.D. coatedBosch Performance Cargo Drive Unit (20 mph) with four levels of ride assist and Bosch PowerPack 500 batteryThree frame sizes (S,M,L) with dropper post and standover considerationsInternal cable routing for dropper post, brake, derailleur, and lightsDedicated rear rack features M6 hardware and 100-lb. capacityStable dual-leg kickstand and kickstand plate, plus mounts for fenders and a front rackBosch Performance Cargo Drive Unit:Provides a maximum torque of 85 Nm, with assistance up to 20 mph, for powerful support at low cadenceDelivers up to 400% of perfectly delivered support, while starting smooth and riding predictablyOffers four levels of ride assist, including ECO, TOUR, SPORT, and TURBOPowerPack 500 Battery:Increased capacity to 13.4 Ah (Amp-Hours), with 500 Wh (Watt-Hours) for extended range36-volt Lithium-ion battery requires about two hours to charge 50%, and full charge takes approx. 4.5 hours with the Bosch Standard ChargerFrame-mounted battery pack weighs 5.7 lbsBosch Standard 2A Charger includedDual Battery Operation:Skid Loader can accommodate a second battery, should you feel like taking the long way homeDual Batteries deliver up to 1,000 Wh for even more range and capabilityThe Bosch DualBattery system switches intelligently between the two batteries, both during charging and dischargingDualBattery feature is compatible with PowerPack 400 and 500 series frame-mounted batteries (Additional battery sold separately)Skid Loaders Robust Rear Rack:Rated for 100 lbs. and compatible with the Thule Yepp Maxi Nexxt, Thule Yepp Maxi EasyFit, and Burley Dash child seats (Note: Skid Loader is not compatible with the Surly Kid Corral system)Features an integrated mount for a Burley trailercycle hitchUpper and lower mounts allow multiple pannier configurations FramesetFrame100% Surly Chromoly Steel, Natch tubing, double-butted main triangle, TIG welded, E.D. coatedFork100% Surly Chromoly Steel, Natch tubing, double-butted tapered fork blades, TIG welded, E.D. coatedColorBathwater GrayComponentsHeadsetCane Creek ViscoSet/40 seriesStemKalloy 4-bolt 31.8 mm clampHandlebarSurly Terminal BarGrips/Bar TapeVelo GripsSeatpostTrans-X Dropper Post, 120 mm/400 mmSaddleWTB VoltDrivetrainDrive UnitBosch Performance Cargo Drive Unit (20 mph)E-Bike ClassificationClass 1Drive TypeMid-DriveMax Assist Speed20 mphMotor Torque85NmRange EstimateA 15-50 mile range is normal for Skid Loader, but your mileage may vary depending on support mode, rider weight, cargo load, andPeruse the Bosch E-bike Range Calculator to learn how you can extend your bike's rangeAssist LevelsFour Ride Assist Levels: Eco, Tour, Sport, and TurboWalk AssistYesMax Motor Assist600WThrottleNoGross Payload400 lb. max weight capacity (rider plus cargo)Battery Capacity Watt Hours500 WhBattery Power VoltsN/ARemovable BatteryYesEstimated Charge Time2-7.5 hoursCharger IncludedYesLights IncludedNoFront DerailleurN/ARear DerailleurmicroSHIFT Advent X 10-speedCassettemicroSHIFT Advent X H-Series 10-speed, 11-48tChainTAYA 10-speedCranksetFSA Mega Arm set for Bosch, with FSA Mega Ring Steel, 38tShiftermicroSHIFT Advent X ProBrakes & RotorsTektro 4-piston M745, Tektro 6-bolt 180 mmBottom BracketN/A.WheelsFront HubNovatec thru-axle, 36h, 15 x 110mmRear HubNovatec HG spline cassette hub, sealed bearing, thru-axle, 36h, 12 x 148 mmSpokesStainless 14gRimWTB i35 27.5 HTZ, 36hTiresSurly ExtraTerrestrial 27.5 x 2.5", Tubeless Ready, 60tpi *Complete bike spec subject to change
